it is open-source, if they did something like this, we would know it for sure

[–] Fijxu@programming.dev 4 points 4 weeks ago

No, this is just propaganda

[–] Ju135@lemmings.world 7 points 4 weeks ago

This make the news only because it's going to chinese servers. Didn't see anything like that about ChatGPT or the one made by Google.

[–] jaxxed@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 weeks ago

Yes, that is how these generative AI imementations work.

Unrelated but yesterday I saw a post where the person was mocking those concerned by the chinese getting their data, saying things like "why would they care" and some people sarcastically saying they wouldn't understand the data because "it was in another language". Were those people right or not?

i don't know but there are some Chinese apps that translates instantly like everything in every language

We are now at a time where US blocks China services in order to protect their companies

Just like many US services are banned in China in Order to protect their companies

So, I hope no surprise..

Its or their for countries?

Edit: I have chosen their

[–] HumanPerson@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 weeks ago

I feel like their is more common. I do deliberately say its for companies because companies aren't people and don't deserve people pronouns. Countries seem more like a collection of people, so I use their.

If someone knows more about grammar feel free to correct me.

Like every app you have doesn't collect keystrokes data?

[–] kekmacska@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 weeks ago

most apps i have just have no way to collect my keystrokes. it is pretty hard to pull off with an open-source app, without anyone noticing

[–] leftytighty@slrpnk.net 3 points 4 weeks ago

right?

CHINESE APP COLLECTS YOUR THOUGHTS AND SAVES THEM

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 28 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

as opposed to OpenAI which also stores keystrokes and then sells them to anyone who'd pay?

[–] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 5 points 4 weeks ago

When I read DeepSeek's privacy policy, I was creeped out by the invasiveness of the keystrokes thing. Then I realised that ChatGPT is just as creepy, but less upfront about it, and DeepSeek's relative transparencyn caused me to see them in a more favourable light

This is Whataboutism and you are clearly a Wumao agent sent here to destroy democracy.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 8 points 4 weeks ago

I don't need to... Muricans took care of destroying democracy all on their own

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

We were doing a perfectly adequate job of that on our own
